Italian Homemade Quick Sundae

I was in a good mood today as my country had entered the World Cup Cricket Finals!! So that called for some sweet treat for the taste buds. So I quickly hopped into the kitchen and got the ice-cream out of the freezer. And then I thought...no...wait...let me make it more luxurious and rich but how?? And then I remembered about this great homemade quick Sundae.

This is an Italian Homemade Quick Sundae, which is super duper easy to make, when someone's coming home to dine at your place. You can surprise them with this sumptuous dessert which you can boast of making it all by yourself. Pure Indulgence!!

Ingredients:

any store bought ice-cream (preferably vanilla)
150 ml double cream
2 tsp instant coffee (nescafe/kenco)
80 ml boiling water
350 gm dark/milk chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
200 ml whipping cream
2 tsp sugar

Method:

Pour the boiling water into the coffee. Stir and keep aside.
In a saucepan, heat the double cream with the above made coffee in a medium heat.
Add the chocolate chips to the saucepan and let it melt fully. Stir till the sauce is smooth. Switch off the heat. Keep aside.
In a bowl, beat the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract with hand or with an electric whisker till soft peaks form.

At the time of your dessert, take an ice-cream bowl and put 3 scoops of your choice of ice-cream. Pour the chocolate sauce over it and then put 2 scoops of the whipped cream over it. Drizzle the chocolate sauce over it again. And there you go.....A LUXURIOUS TREAT is ready to be served!!

PS: The chocolate sauce can be preserved in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks for future use.

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta

Lemon Hummus and Baba ghanoush

Fresh, hearty and wholesome are the three words that comes to my mind when I think of Mediterranean cuisine. Be it the region’s meal in a bowl vegetable or fish soups, juicy Kebabs, fried falafel, craggy pieces of toasted Bruschetta with yummy toppings, Batata Bravas, wedges of tortilla, or any combination of fish, vegetables, nuts, seeds, meat, fruit, yoghurt and oils, Mediterranean food is just brilliant. Equally tasty are their spread of small tasty dishes served as a starter while waiting for the rest of the meal. No matter how simple or elaborate, these tasty appetisers always hit the spot. I am going to share the recipes of two of the many popular Mezze dishes that you can whip up in no time at home, for your quick and light dinner. One is the lusciously creamy “Hummus” that would beg you to be scooped up on to your warmed pitta breads (please don’t bother making pitta!!) and the second dish is Baba Ganoush, a healthier option to Hummus. Baba Ghanoush is made of ro
